5 Critical Regulatory Topics To Watch In The Oligo SectorThough our guidances have helped us achieve upwards of 20 commercially approved oligo products, as I listened to GSK’s director of CMC policy and advocacy, Katie Duncan, present at TIDES, it struck me just how far we have yet to come. Here, I single out a few of the biggest topics of regulatory discussion shaping the oligo therapeutics market.

What is the biggest hurdle to reaching metric-ton RNA production? In this segment, Advancing RNA Live speaker Claire McCleod discusses the biggest challenges to producing blockmers and in what ways the industry is reimagining upstream manufacturing to enable more efficient ligation.
Achieving cost-effective manufacturing while maintaining high quality standards today is one of the biggest challenges facing companies outsourcing mRNA/RNA development. In turn, panelists Qian Ruan, Andy Geall, and Alex Aust reflect on how and where they’ve seen the costs of mRNA-LNP manufacturing evolving/fluctuating in recent years.
While we can make lots of mRNA at a smaller scale, when it comes to scaling up to kg quantities of mRNA, our current batch processes leave a lot to be desired. Together, Stu Sundseth of Tune Therapeutics and Christian Dohmen of Ethris unpack the biggest barriers to scaling IVT to achieve the desired yield and quality of mRNA, offering their take on how the field is innovating to overcome these issues.
Camp4’s Satya Kuchimanchi highlights where he has seen the most growth in the oligo supply chain over the past few years, as well as which industry trends have been driving these shifts.
